Because it is half term week, a slightly earlier start in an attempt to ensure parking OK. Meet at the playing fields carpark GR SK 254 655 near Rowsley near the Caudwell Mill. A loop round Stanton Moor taking in the Earl Grey Tower, Corkstone and 9 Ladies Stone Circle. 7 miles.
The earlier start turned out to be completely unnecessary after all. 8 met in a virtually empty carpark, following the road up towards Endcliffe quarry, Lees Cross quarries and then round the edge to the Earl Grey tower, where we had a short tea break, before continuing round to Birchover and up to Birchover quarry. Lunch was taken close to the road after the anticipated spot proved to be somewhat unpleasantly vegetated and fly ridden. Then on the Corkstone, everyone turning down the opportunity to climb to the top, then the 9 ladies stone circle, before descending gently through woods, taking a quick break at the viewpoint over Haddon Hall, and then back to the cars via Congreave. The weather turned out to be far better than most of us anticipated, so a dry day after all. Thanks to Vanda for some photos. Thanks to all who joined us. Just over 7 miles.
